Evaluating Trigonometric Functions for any Angle
Introduction Following is the definition of trigonometric functions of Any Angle.
Introduction Because r = cannot be zero, it follows that the sine and cosine functions are defined for any real value of . However, when x = 0, the tangent and secant of are undefined. For example, the tangent of 90 is undefined. Similarly, when y = 0, the cotangent and cosecant of are undefined.
Example 1 – Evaluating Trigonometric Functions Let (–3, 4) be a point on the terminal side of (see Figure 4.34). Find the sine, cosine, and tangent of . Figure 4.34

Right Triangle Trigonometry Trigonometry is based upon ratios of the sides of right triangles. The six trigonometric functions of a right triangle, with an acute angle , are defined by ratios of two sides of the triangle. θ hyp opp adj The sides of the right triangle are: the side opposite the acute angle , the side adjacent to the acute angle , and the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Right Triangle Trigonometry The hypotenuse is the longest side and is always opposite the right angle. The opposite and adjacent sides refer to another angle, other than the 90o. A

Reciprocal Functions sin = 1/csc csc = 1/sin cos = 1/sec sec = 1/cos tan = 1/cot cot = 1/tan
Finding the ratios The simplest form of question is finding the decimal value of the ratio of a given angle. Find using calculator: sin 30 = sin 30 = cos 23 = tan 78 = tan 27 = sin 68 =
Using ratios to find angles It can also be used in reverse, finding an angle from a ratio. To do this we use the sin-1, cos-1 and tan-1 function keys. Example: sin x = 0.1115 find angle x. sin-1 0.1115 = shift sin ( ) x = sin-1 (0.1115) x = 6.4o 2. cos x = 0.8988 find angle x cos-1 0.8988 = shift cos ( ) x = cos-1 (0.8988) x = 26o

Finding an angle from a triangle To find a missing angle from a right-angled triangle we need to know two of the sides of the triangle. We can then choose the appropriate ratio, sin, cos or tan and use the calculator to identify the angle from the decimal value of the ratio. 14 cm 6 cm C 1.

Applications Involving Right Triangles A surveyor is standing 115 feet from the base of the Washington Monument. The surveyor measures the angle of elevation to the top of the monument as 78.3. How tall is the Washington Monument? Solution: where x = 115 and y is the height of the monument. So, the height of the Washington Monument is y = x tan 78.3 115(4.82882) 555 feet.
